“Jewel of Jasper”
Maligne Lake is a lake in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is famed for the colour of its water, the surrounding peaks, the three glaciers visible from the lake and Spirit Island, one of the most photographed locations in the world.
This lake is worthwhile visiting for the drive alone, which takes you up through some beautiful boreal forest and beside Medicine Lake, a very curious lake indeed! Maligne Lake is beautiful, however it was very busy when we were there (late July), so consider visiting in the off-season. Also consider taking a kayak or canoe for a spin on the lake, for some of the best panoramic views. When we kayaked there, there were thousands of tiny trout jumping all around the kayak!
